===============================>
Back in the late 60's we used great big lag bolts to screw into the
poles and affix the tower top section to the pole.
Used a drill first, then turned a big lag bolt into the holes.
If the poles JUST fit into the top sections that is exactly the way you
want them.
Use a level to make sure you are straight before you commit to the hole
drilling spots.

I vividly remember that I burned and itched for weeks from the creosote
sawdust eating away at my neck and back after that job was done  !!
